Sustainability
These products are crafted from retired olive trees, which no longer bear olives, help sustain the environment. After the old trees are cut down, they are replaced with new olive trees.
Transforming the aged wood into long-lasting products ensures that the carbon trapped within the wood remains locked away, benefiting the environment.

About Natural Olive Wood
Natural OliveWood is a family-owned business that handcrafts kitchenware from non-productive olive trees.
Born and raised in Sfax, Tunisia, brothers Hatem and Walid Alimi learned the art of carving the trunks of olive trees as children.
Today, the Alimi brothers (and family) produce naturally beautiful kitchen products, all boasting the distinct swirling patterns of the trees’ twisted trunks.
Nonporous by nature and coated in a protective layer of olive oil, Natural OliveWood products are safe and sustainable.

How to use
To use a natural olive wood spurtle, simply cook with it as you would any other utensil. A spurtle is a versatile too that can be used for mixing, stiring, scaping the sides of the bowl and serving.
Clean it by hand after use with mild soap and water. Dry immediately.
Occasionally apply a food-safe oil like beeswax or coconut oil (refractionated) to maintain its condition.
